As a first cousin to Neil, my memories go way back to the many family functions we shared together. Wether it was birthdays, holidays, weddings or just family dinners, Neil was the one I always looked up to. Since he and I were the only two boys in the group of cousins and he was older one and wiser one it wasn’t hard to treat him as though he was my “big brother!” Always having a great sense of humor and sharing our love of sports ( he even asked me to go with him to the ‘82 Brewers play-off run) he always took the time to ask, “ how was I doing.”
Thank you Neil for being a part of my life! And to Noa and Jonah, just know, your dad was not just a great dad to you two, he was a great person to others as well.
